PM visits Gulf for talks
Liverpool Echo
|April 09, 2026
SIR Keir Starmer arrived in Saudi Arabia yesterday as he visits Gulf allies to push for a long-term resolution to the Iran conflict.
-
It comes after Iran and the US agreed to a two-week ceasefire on the condition that Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz for shipping.
The Prime Minister was set to hold talks with Gulf leaders including Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman on how best to support the pause in fighting and ensure passage is permanently restored through the key oil and gas shipping route.
Sir Keir was also expected to thank armed forces from the UK and allied countries who are posted in the region. The ceasefire announcement triggered a fall in global oil prices and an upswing in stock markets as investors breathed a sigh of relief following weeks of economic turmoil.
